Pop in again! :)

I'm so excited about my last paper tomorrow. :) And looking forward to my 2-week attachment NEXT WEEK. :) I'm posted to NUH again... And Oncology ward AGAIN... :)

Not complaining cos I like Oncology. I don't know why the inclination towards it... I guess it is similar as to how I like the name "Charles". For no particular reason at all. :)

And hospitals are not all gloom and doom. In it, you find patients who are more alive, more optimistic and mentally stronger than some of the "normal" people you know.



You see the manifestation of love as spouses stay by the bedsides, day and night. Indeed holding on to the vow they made decades ago - To be faithful "In sickness and in health, till death do us part."

How heartwarming is that.

You see a son bringing in a foldable bed just so he could sleep beside his mum and be there with her through the night.

You talk to a homeless patient and his toothless grin is the most beautiful one you've seen.

You see the fighting spirit of patients as they silently endure their absurd treatments and share hopefully about their plans after discharge.



And you walk out of the hospital and see people who look like they would rather be dead. You read in papers of how people voluntarily end their lives over the littlest of things.

How bizarre.
